Ordered 18" "NY Cheese Pizza" ($31.99 before tax & tip) with half the pie applied with thir signature "Black Garlic Base" (seemingly black-hued fermented garlic; $2.75 extra) which is blended with their tomato sauce. Asked for "well done." They also offer a "World Famous 120 Pepperoni" which apparently contains over 120 pieces of Pepperoni. Was only one worker on shift making all the pies, so perhaps was an issue. Pizza looked a bit "well done" on top but under-side was lacking crispness. Dough was dissapointing with a lack of firm air pockets, and was moreso fluffy. Taste was standard bread dough with no notes of sourness, with lack of char/smoky hints. Tomato sauce was somewhat "watery" in consistency, with distant hint of raw garlic, with citrusy and peppery notes. Black garlic half added very low-intensity hint equivalent to dull tasting caramelized onions, with hint of sweetness, and pungent and sulphurous notes. Cheese was basic mozzarella, without diverse savoury notes. Would reccomend trying a pie with both 'tomato' base and the 'black garlic' base as the latter is a unique option for pizza shops, and the minor sweetness contrasts nicely with the acidic flavour of the tomato sauce. Overall, this is their only location in Canada, as they have 3 other locations in California, USA. So if youre a Pepperoni fanatic, and dont mind adding a very tolerable black garlic-blended tomato sauce, their "World Famous 120 Pepperoni" seems a favourable purchase. read more

When they first opened the pizza was good. The last few times I ordered a pizza, wow what the hell happened to their quality. The pizza seems like a frozen pizza warmed up and then they put their toppings on it and warm it again. There seems to have been a change in ownership and the new owners do not know how to make a pizza. I would think that they will collapse shortly or maybe someone will buy them out. No ambiance. Really a takeout pizza joint. read more

Great pizza place at the Junction in Toronto! Ordered takeout - 3 different pizzas (Hawaiian, Margarita & Italian Sausage and a couple of House salads. Pizzas were delicious, well prepared, just the right amount of thickness and ample toppings. Staff is courteous and pleasant. Seating is tight for about 14 people in a casual setting. read more

Love their 120 piece of pepperoni. I will consider this place overpriced at almost 50$ for a large but its worth it for a once in a while pig out session. Highly recommend their white garlic dip and black garlic dips as they are house made and the perfect compliment. read more

Burattino Brick Oven Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We ordered their popular black garlic pepperoni pizza, creamy garlic dip and two can of soda. The black garlic was flavorful and the pepperoni slices covered almost all the pizza. It was a little oily a the crust was think and well done.The cheese wasn't very melty either. We got there at about 2 p.m so there was not much of a waiting time for our food. It was ready for us in just under twenty minutes. The order taker was friendly but it was a bit annoying that there were no plates anywhere to eat our pizza. Also. the staff didn't bring our pizza to the our table and yet they want payment upfront. There was barely any ambiance at the 5 or 6 tables. Music was not too loud which is good. When people were leaving. no one came around to wipe down the tables between customers. This was obvious because at our table there were two used napkins still at our table. read more

The wings were just okay. Quite overpriced for just 8pcs and any of the wings with the skin faced down was stuck on the foil and ripped off. The Bianca Funghi was surprisingly very good despite one of us hating mushrooms. It didn't feel overly heavy and paired with their garlic dipping sauce, it was even better. The black garlic pepperoni pizza was the highlight of everything we ate. The black garlic adds an aromatic but sweet taste that is just *chef's kiss* . They also have HUGE cookies thats a perfect mix of crunchy outside with a soft center. A perfect treat to take to go. Just note that this spot only offers the full pizza pie, freshly made, and doesn't serve single slices. read more

I ordered for pick up via their Ambassador website so I cannot comment about the restaurant itself but the ease of ordering was great! I highly recommend it. I decided to go all in for my first time here which meant opting in for their MEAT LOVERS PIZZA, loaded with beef prosciutto, Italian sausage, pepperoni, meatballs, and ham, on marina sauce and mozzarella cheese. As you can imagine, it was a pretty heavy and filling slice, which trended on the saltier and greasier side (as expected). It left me wanting more cheese but the flavor profile was well thought out. I wished for an airier and chewier crust, but it was thin to my liking. I'm thankful that they offer a "custom half & half signature pizza" option which made trying another one of their delicious flavors an easy task. I went with their ITALIAN SAUSAGE PIZZA which has a marina sauce base, topped with mozzarella cheese, and Italian sausage. I actually preferred this over their Meat Lovers as it offered a better ratio between cheese and meat for more balance. Also, it was overall less greasy and less salty. read more

June 6/2024: The oh so glorious pepperoni grease the dripped from the Black Garlic 120 piece pepperoni pizza ($32.48/w tip) was a delicious assault on my nostrils! The garlic flavour was fantastically aromatic & the crunchiness of the crust was amazing. The the young guy that worked as cashier/chef was nice enough to provide complimentary, a small container of black garlic & ranch dipping sauce, which were both fantastic. The service provided was polite & fast from a warm "old style" pizzeria environment! This is a definite do over from my end! read more

Pizza was decent but definitely not worth the hype on social media. Looks way better than it tastes. We ordered 2 pizzas - the pepperoni pizza and the cheese lava pie. Service was practically nonexistent even though we ate inside the restaurant. It's a cute spot but I don't recommend eating in; you'll get better service for takeout. I wouldn't return as I've had much better pizza elsewhere. read more

They are extremely busy on a Saturday night 7:20PM. Wait time was about 45 minutes. I don't get the hype. Thin pizza, but the crust was way too crunchy. The black garlic flavor added a good flavor to the pizza, but not every surface was covered with black garlic. A large portion of the pieces didn't have much of a black garlic taste. Very light cheese and too many pepperonis for my liking. read more

Casual Pizza Affair - Badiali killer? Parking: Street parking available Service: Greeted right away from the front of house, friendly, can't really comment much as few words exchanged. (3/5?) Ambiance: Cute little spot, a few dining seats available Food: They only serve by the pie, no slices available. They got these notasandwich sandwiches - not bad, pretty tasty. What I ordered: 12" Black Garlic Pepperoni -Pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce with black garlic. The reg garlic versus the black garlic - def like the reg garlic better my personal opinion it tastes kind of burnt. Pep was good though (3/5) 12" Pizza Bianca - Homemade white garlic sauce, mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, freshly chopped basil. Tastes better than the black garlic in my opinion from what we ordered, simple and fresh ingredients. Good cheese pull and bite. (4/5) Black Garlic Dipping Sauce - would not order this again (2/5) White Garlic Dipping Sauce - Combine this with Badiali's pies... golden hour (4/5) Overall not bad.. I'd try the other ones. I tried the notasandwich, i liked it. good lunch item, the pic isn't great either but the other items I'd try with the boys or like a bro spot you know. Rating: (3.5/5) - for now, will give it a few more tries and see wassup read more

After an attempt to grab brunch at a different restaurant went awry, we found ourselves looking for a new spot to grab some eats. Burattino Brick Oven Pizza was suggested and I would, of course, never say no to pizza. We showed up a little while later and the place was pretty much empty. I was initially overwhelmed by the amount of delicious-looking pizzas on offer, but my dining companion mentioned that they were best known for their Black Garlic 120 Pepperoni Special ("Pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce with black garlic"), so that's what we wound up going with. It was ready about 15 minutes later and it definitely lives up to the hype. The marinara with black garlic is a real game-changer, as far as I'm concerned, because it's just so delicious. It tastes like a top-quality marinara sauce that's been infused with a sweet, garlicky flavor. It's irresistible. The rest of the components were quite good, also, although I do wish that the pepperoni had been cooked until it was crispy. (There are a few spots around the edges where that's exactly the case, and I was wishing the whole pizza had been like that.) I'll eat that pizza anytime, anywhere, it's just that good. read more

Stopped here when getting to the Toronto area looking for pizza. We were able to park on the street though I would say parking could be tough on a busy day. As our first introduction to the area this pizza was great. Pictures speak for themselves: crunchy undercarriage and thin pizza, loaded with pepperoni and the cheese and grease was a perfect combination. Inside was clean as well - staff was overly friendly, and the bathroom is quite a walk downstairs and then back a long hallway. Recommended - really good pizza. read more

I tried their pizza last month after seeing the buzz about their 120 pepperoni pizzas. The dough was delicious and the crust was thin and tasty. However there was inconsistency with the pepperoni on some of the slices. There was definitely room for more pepperoni. The cheese wasn't as gooey either. Nonetheless, I would order again and ask for more cheese and pepperoni. Glad to have this gem in the neighbourhood! read more

Found this place via their Instagram ad, and needed to try the food immediately! Found street parking within 1 block of the restaurant (excellent for a Saturday night). They currently have a take-out window open, so it's an easy order and pickup. Tried the Pepperoni pizza and the Meat Lovers pizza, they both had a thin, slightly crispy yet soft crust. Loaded with toppings, but the crust was still cooked all the way through and not soggy at all! The leftover pepperoni pizza was delicious and still soft the next day, and served cold was a great breakfast. Customer service was excellent, and shout out to Dalton (Not from Roadhouse) who was super cool and hooked me up with the most scrumptious ooey-gooey chocolate brownie and Burattino face masks! Small pizza is very filling, great value for the $$, and in a nice location for a short walk while u wait. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

was super excited to try this place because of the crunch of the slices ive seen on instagram and blogto.... boy what a disappointment! the pizza was super thin crust but the base of the pizza tasted like premade pizza dough from a grocery store. The base of the pizza was not crispy and still tasted doughy... The pepperoni was generous in portion size, but that was all that they had that was good. the price of the pizza was also not fairly represented compared to the quality. 19.99 for a pizza that is same size as a frozen pizza! From someone who has eaten at a-lot of other pizza joint ( baddali, makers, conspiracy, revolver), this was mediocre at best. service was friendly, but i should have been skeptical when i saw that this pizza joint was a coffee shop and bakery as well. definitely will not return. don't be influenced by the instagram posts! read more

Burattino Brick Oven Pizza - Great pizza - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

An extreme disappointment, don't fall for social media. You're probably like me and was interested in Burattino because of all the rave on social media about the black garlic pizza available here. From the videos, these reels/tiktoks would rave about how great the pizza, pepperonis, and garlic base was. I'm here today to burst that bubble, cause I've been on a pizza binge in Toronto recently and can easily say this was the worst pizza that's been circulating on social media. First and foremost, the price. Starting at $22 for a MEDIUM, I was expecting a very high quality tasting pizza. After waiting for the pizza, my friend and I were really excited to try it. And that's it....it was just a pizza. For how much we spent, this pizza was absolutely lacklustre. The black garlic base offered nothing to the experience, the cheese was run of the mil takeout pizza cheese, and the pepperonis were actually very low quality in my opinion and I have had more enjoyable pepperoni slices at random mom & pop shops, The location itself is very nicely designed and offers a very instagramy entrance and nice chairs/tables to dine on. Service was whatever, the employees were not that involved and did not even mention if there were any dipping sauce options or ask if we wanted any drinks, etc. Overall, I really wanted to like this pizza spot but after trying it and accounting for the price, I would not recommend people to come here. Don't fall for the hype. read more

Burattino Brick Oven Pizza is located near the south east corner of Clendenan and Dundas St W in the Junction. My wife who is Italian explained that Burattino is sort of a nickname for Pinocchio. Not surprisingly there is a small framed wall hanging of Pinocchio on the western wall. Burattino as my friend had mentioned is that they've originally from SoCal. I had to look it up and it's in fact in Rancho Palos Verdes which is that "corner" part of LA which is elevated. They've been here about a year (I asked) and their place is well presented. We were 5 and while their indoor dining was geared for 4 max they were more than happy to re-arrange some furniture so we could all sit together. Many of the other patrons seemed to be there for pick up orders. Beer's under the front counter and the non-alcoholic drinks are in a self serve fridge across from the front counter. The regular menu had almost 2 dozen preselected options for 12 or 18 inch pizzas which were pepperoni (very loaded), meat lovers (even more loaded) and a black garlic which included pepperoni were the main ones we were considering My wife who enjoys a white pizza had a 12 inch bianchi funghi which included portobello, shitake on a garlic cream sauce. The other 4 of us shared the black garlic 18 inch. Both were cooked for the same time so they'd be served at the same time. First impressions are well done, the cooking of the pizza that is and also the presentation. If you've ever been to a Papa John's you may notice they have an ingredients dressing standard chart which shows how pepperoni is distributed by their standards on a pizza which is evenly for their pies which when you're a national chain you have a standard to live up to. The appeal of Burattino to me seems to be that it is more than just a regular pizza chain. Their "California" style pizza seems to be crispy yet firm, foldable without breaking, well constructed and better than a mass chain type quality. The quality is definitely not the kind of place that is pumping out pizzas in a "hot and ready" type order system. These are made to order and if you're eating in like we did you're getting it as fresh as possible. 12 inch pies seem to be in the 20 dollar range while the extra large 18 inch are in the 30+ range. We had both and they were both very good and worth the wait and value for what we paid. I like the fact that there is something like this in the Junction that is from what seems obvious a very up and coming neighborhood. I noticed that Libretto just opened up down the street so now the area has a Neapolitan pizza restaurant as well. read more

The pizza selection is quite extensive but I knew for my first try I would have to have the famous 120 Pepperoni. I ordered a Medium (12"). It also comes in Extra Large (18"). Pizza took about 35 minutes to be ready and it was worth the wait. The crust is super thin and cooked well done. Nice and crispy! No soggy pizza here. The pepperoni were great. A little spicy but just enough to make you want to go back for more. The sauce and cheese were just right. The person I was with ordered the Clam Pizza. I wish I had taken a photo. I had never had clam pizza before and it was excellent. It was a very light and delicate pizza. I think I may have to try that again next time. If you love thin crispy pizza this is the place for you. You can tell that each pizza is made with care. read more

it's unfortunate I feel obligated to leave a less than satisfying review about Burratino's because the pizza here is truly outstanding! The service, however, not so much. my girlfriend ordered a pizza on uber eats and received the wrong pizza. We phoned the restaurant to kindly let them know, and asked them what they were going to do for us, as they admitted on the phone they screwed up the order, not the delivery driver. The staff offered no options to help us, and they went as far as to tell my girlfriend she had to come pick it up. So I went instead... and although I was agitated when I got there, I didn't feel any sense of accountability or remorse from the restaurant for the mistake. We filed a refund from Uber, but it would be nice to receive a personal touch from an individually owned establishment. very disappointed read more

The pizza here will leave you satisfied. I have tried their black garlic pepperoni, traditional pepperoni and their garlic cheese pizzas and all tasted good. Some had crispier crust than others but that may because of the toppings. There was a generous amount of toppings on each pizza. Have a drink or two nearby because some of the pizzas can be salty. I still prefer other pizza shops but if you are in the area this is a nice one to go visit. read more

I called to request half and half via Uber, but instead of offering a solution like adding a sauce or suggesting a different pizza, the girl on the phone told me to order through DoorDash or Skip. When I did, both were already closed. I called again, and she insisted I should have ordered the more expensive pizza and then canceled my order. On the third call, she suggested ordering through their website, but that was also closed. In the end, she just told me to order tomorrow since they were about to close. Not a helpful experience at all. Product is great but service is just. Please do better. read more

I planned a trip to be in the area and thought I'd swing by this new pizza joint before heading home. Driving down Dundas, I don't think you will miss their shop as they've got nice flowers hanging in the front of their shop. Definitely instaworthy! I stopped by on a random weeknight and saw quite a few people walking away with white pizza boxes as I was approaching the shop. When I arrived, they have a take out window where the friendly staff took my order and payment. The wait time for my pizza was half an hour which isn't bad at all for a fresh baked pizza! I ordered one of their popular menu item, the black garlic pepperoni special pizza. I loved how the pizza was very thin, got a nice crust and it was LOADED with pepperoni!! It's worth the trip and I would definitely go back for more. For people who can't get there without driving, there is residential area just around the corner where you can park free of charge. read more

Saw all the posts on tik tok which made decide to give it a try. It was a long wait, for some bland hard pizza. The pizza had absolutely NO taste whatsoever. The crust tasted like some hard crackers. The menu said they had a variety of wing flavors to choose from. When we asked the server what the options were she said " bbq and hot " ... doesn't sound like much of a variety to me..but okay, we went with the hot ones. Which took long to make.. they were just some bland over priced wings sprinked with Frank's. Here I am writing this review, starving and disappointed ready to run to my local dominos !

Decided to try Burattino's after all the social media buzz and because I'm a pizza fanatic! For those who don't know, this is the LA based chain's first international location known for its brick-oven pizzas. Besides using a brick pizza oven, what makes them stand out is their unique toppings such as wild boar quail egg and duck prosciutto. You can order one of their pie combos or make it your own by choosing gourmet thin crust and up to five toppings. The pie getting the most buzz is their 120 Pepperoni Pizza (yea, they claim to have 120 pieces of pepperoni). On this visit, I came to try the Croatian Pizza, which the LA Times called "perfect". It comes with beef prosciutto, feta cheese, mushrooms, red peppers and black olives. I have to tell you it did not disappoint. We ate it right away and it the crust was crispy as advertised, yet had a doughy top which help together perfectly under the weight of all the toppings. The service was excellent! Looking forward to combing back and trying a meat lovers ones next time. If you love pizza, you have to try this place! read more

Burattino has been on the list for a while, ever since IG has been hammering my feed with their sponsored posts. Creepy how well it knows me, right? Thank god for that algorithm, this place hit the spot. Black garlic pepperoni pizza was crispy, light, had an unethical amount of pepperoni and the black garlic added a new pizza experience that really elevated things. Don't miss the tangy house-made garlic dipping sauce, it's obligatory. Wings were tasty, but don't expect crispy dry sauced, these felt oven-baked and home style. Worth a shot, but the real star here is the pizza. read more

There is so much hype around this pizza I could hardly wait to try it. Unfortunately it did not live up the the hype. I order the pepperoni and black garlic pizza which was over cooked, very dry.
